This is more just my personal notes for what I want to do. I mostly focus on writing up music articles.
Important songs that are missing articles:
Albums that are missing articles:
- Kirby's Star Stacker Original CD Masters (obscure Star Stacker remastered soundtrack)
- TV Anime Kirby of the Stars Original Soundtrack (Japanese anime score by Akira Miyagawa; sandbox here)
Composers that are missing articles:
- Dan Miyakawa (of dubious note?)
- Yuki Kato (we have no idea what they did)
Personal wants:
- Fountain of Dreams (theme from Kirby's Adventure)
- Ending (theme from Kirby's Adventure)
- Air Ride: Fantasy Meadows
- Air Ride: Celestial Valley
- Air Ride: Nebula Belt
- Air Ride: Beanstalk Park
- Top Ride and City Trial themes (slightly lower priority)
- Must Dash
- Ordeal (theme)
Leitmotifs we need to figure out what to do with:
Other:
- Correct redlinks to use consistent names
Files I'm saving for future music articles:
Top Ride: Sand (KATRC Top Ride Medley)
Top Ride: Fire (KATRC Top Ride Medley)
Circuit Speedway (K30MF Race Medley)
Toy Rhythm (KTD)
Japanese pronouns for characters:
Basic meanings:
- watashi (私, わたし, ワタシ): Basically the most "neutral" pronoun, polite and gender-neutral, though usually only used by men in formal situations while it's more common for women to use casually. In media, men who use watashi tend to be cold and aloof, if not outright villainous.
- watakushi (私, わたくし, ワタクシ): More formal and humble version of watashi. Generally only used in business settings. Often used by salespeople, office workers, or (in media) high-class ladies.
- atashi (あたし, アタシ): Informal and feminine variant of watashi. Often used by girls and women of all ages in casual settings. Usually gives a tomboyish vibe, but not as much as boku. Men in media sometimes use atashi if they're especially feminine.
- boku (僕, ぼく, ボク): Informal and masculine. Commonly used by young boys until they "graduate" to ore, or by men in casual, friendly situations. A more childish variant usually only heard in media is ボクちん boku-chin. Girls sometimes use boku, but only in close company; in media, a girl who uses boku is usually tomboyish.
- ore (俺, おれ, オレ): Pronounced oh-ray. Informal and masculine, with a "rougher" connotation than boku. Gives the impression that someone is strong and self-assertive, both in a good way and a bad way. Used by older boys and men, especially around other men. Almost never used by women outside of media.
- ore-sama (俺様, オレさま): Variant of ore almost exclusively seen in media. Basically translates to "the great me" or "my wonderful highness". Very self-aggrandizing, nearly always used by men with bloated egos.
- washi (儂, わし, ワシ): Old-fashioned variant of watashi. Used to be popular with men and women of all ages, now exclusively used in media by elderly characters. If you see this, you know the speaker is an old guy, basically.
Some of this info is taken from a Tumblr post made by kaialone (though I did most of this without realizing they made one...)

Tuff | オレ (ore) | |
King Dedede (anime character) | ワシ (washi) | |
Escargoon | 私 (watashi) or 私奴 (watakushime) | 私奴 watakushime means "this humble servant", essentially. |

eNeMeE | 私 (watashi) | |
Chef Kawasaki (anime character) | オレ (ore) | |
Whispy Woods (anime) | 俺様 (ore-sama) | |

Spinni | オレ (ore) | Only seen in the novels. |

Queen Sectonia | わらわ (warawa) normally, わたし (watashi) in the Soul of Sectonia pause screen | わらわ (warawa) is an old-fashioned feminine pronoun. It's a humble form, but is often used ironically by someone who is self-aggrandizing. Originally was used mostly by royal women, but in media it's now basically exclusive to goddesses and such. |
Elline | わたし (watashi) | |
Claycia | あたし (atashi) | Only seen in the novels. |
Susie | ワタクシ (watakushi) normally, switches to アタシ (watashi) when not in "professional" scenarios | |

Hyness | 我ら (warera) normally, ワタシ (watashi) in the Corrupt Hyness (Soul Melter EX) pause screen | 我ら (warera) is basically the equivalent to using "we". Sort of an archaic form, used in the sense of "our people" or "our species." ワタシ (watashi) is used in a translated example sentence, so it's unclear if he uses this normally. |
Elfilin | ボク (boku) | |
Leongar | われら (warera) | Same deal as Hyness. |
